Wednesday, July 5, 2000 Keppel in talks to acquire Lisnave According to reports in Singapore and Portuguese newspapers, Keppel Hitachi Zosen is in talks about a possible buyout of leading Portuguese ship repairer Lisnave.
The Straits Times says that Keppel Hitachi has confirmed that it is still in talks with Lisnave's operators, despite a change in the Portuguese yard's majority shareholders.
Reportedly, Grupo Jose de Mello, a holding company for one of Portugal's richest families, has agreed to sell its 69% stake in the yard to two board members --Jose Mendes Rodrigues and Nelson Nunes Rodrigues-- for US$1. The $1 sale came after failure to reach a labor agreement that would have ended rigid work rules.
Keppel has been talking to Lisnave since May. Contacted by the Straits Times yesterday a Keppel spokeperson said: "We are going to continue our discussions with the two new majority shareholders.''
Lisnave was reported to have lost 28.1 million euros (about $27 million) last year after posting a profit in 1998.
The shipyard's survival depends on a network of alliances with international partners and on the reorganization of the labour force, the Straits Times quotes Grupo Mello head Jose Manuel de Mello as saying. Lisnave already has an agreement with Germany's ThyssenKrupp, holders of a 12%stake that will be raised to 19%.
Halliburton and Petrobras in $2.5 billion deepwater contract Halliburton Company and Petrobras have signed contracts to proceed with the development of both the Barracuda and the Caratinga offshore oil fields in Brazil. The contracts are valued at more than $2.5 billion and will be performed by Halliburton's Brown & Root Energy Services (BRES) and Halliburton Energy Services (HES) business units, together with Petrobras' Exploration and Production unit.
The Barracuda and Caratinga Fields are located in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil, in water depths varying between 600 and 1,350 meters.
The principal agreement is a lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract between BRES and the Barracuda & Caratinga Leasing Company B.V. (BCLCO). BCLCO is a special purpose company established by Japanese trading companies Itochu and Mitsubishi in connection with the project finance structure negotiated by Petrobras for the development of the two fields. Petrobras is the concessionaire of the fields. Work will commence in July 2000.
Two FPSOs The EPC contracts will be on a full engineering, procurement, installation and construction basis, including work related to construction of 51 wells, fabrication and installation of flowlines and risers, construction and installation of two floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs), and the commissioning, start-up and operations support for both fields.
Each of the FPSOs will have a storage capacity of 2 million barrels and a production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day. Work representing more than 40 percent of the value of the FPSOs will be performed in Brazil, including one of the ships' hull conversions.
DD21 class to be named after Zumwalt The Navy will honor Navy Admiral Elmo R. "Bud" Zumwalt Jr., by naming its 21st Century Land Attack Destroyer (DD 21) after him. Zumwalt, who became the youngest man ever to serve as chief of Naval Operations (CNO) in 1970, passed away in Durham, N.C., on Jan. 2, 2000.
Entering the fleet at the end of this decade, USS Zumwalt will usher in the Navy's newest class of destroyers. These revolutionary warships are being designed to meet post-Cold War requirements using 21st century naval warfare concepts. The Zumwalt class will incorporate several advanced technologies and introduce a number of design features to improve the DD 21 sailor's quality of life.
Armed with an array of land attack weapons, USS Zumwalt will be capable of delivering an unprecedented level of offensive firepower from the sea. It will also be the first U.S. Navy ship to be powered and propelled by a fully integrated power system, including modern electric drive. The cruiser-sized Zumwalt will be manned by a crew approaching 100 and will feature new habitability standards and shipboard amenities, including staterooms for the entire ship's company.
Shades of Chicken Run If you liked the animated movie Chicken Run, you'll love this. Here's how one of those online computer-based translation services mangled a German language report on the decision of a Bremen court to withdraw its arrest warrant on ex-Bremer Vulkan chief Friedrich Hennemann
Regional court removed warrant of arrest against ex volcanic boss hen man Bremen (dpa) - the regional court Bremen removed the warrant of arrest against ex volcanic boss Friedrich hen man. Reason is that with hen man no more danger of absconding exists. The former chief executive must answer for itself for scarcely one year as well as three other managers before court. The accusation accuses to them approximately 850 million Marks to have defrauded which were intended actually for the volcanic daughters in the new Lands of the Federal Republic. That of Bremen volcano network had gone to 1996 into bankruptcy."

The exact causes of climate change remain a mystery to science. Many researchers link recent global warming to changes in the sun. Others remain skeptical, claiming that the sun varies only very slowly, over periods of millions of years. They say that no hard evidence exists for a solar effect on recent climate changes.
Now, new research may have provided just that evidence, with data demonstrating that solar variations have had major effects on the earth's climate as recent as 2,000 years ago. The research, conducted by a team of scientists from the Universities of Ohio, Minnesota, and Texas at Arlington, confirms that, during periods when the earth received less solar radiation, the Atlantic Ocean cooled, rainfall levels dropped, and North America experienced periods of intense drought. Some droughts lasted as long as a century.
Seven such events were detected, occurring once every 1,500 years, a period that matches the so-called "Bond Events" cycle of solar variation.
According to the study's lead author, Greg Springer, the correspondence provides "convincing evidence" of a solar effect on North American climate. "This really nails down the idea of solar influence on continental drought," said Springer.
The critical data was obtained from an 8-inch long stalagmite from a cave in West Virginia. As the stalagmite grew over a period of several thousand years, its composition precisely recorded fluctuations in the Earth's climate.
Data more recent than 2,000 years ago wasn't examined, as the authors feared the impact of Native Americans on nearby watersheds may have influenced the results. However, Springer tells DailyTech that analysis of river discharges around the area confirm that the region is still being impacted by such changes today.
The stalagmite was sampled at various points along its length, each point radiologically dated to precisely determine its age. Samples were analyzed to determine the ratio of strontium to calcium, along with levels of the isotopes carbon-13 and oxygen-18. Each of these acts as a proxy (indicator) for various climate parameters such as rainfall levels and land or sea-surface temperatures. The stalagmite therefore acts as a highly accurate record of climate variations over a period as little as a few years.
Spectral analysis of the data revealed cycles with periods corresponding to harmonics of the 1500-year Bond Events, a cycle triggered by weak solar activity which results in dramatic cooling and the occurrence of "IRD" events -- ice raft debris forming in the Atlantic.
Springer tells DailyTech that the results "certainly lends support" to global warming skeptics. However, he himself is not sure that the recent level of variance is enough to explain all the warming the Earth has undergone in the past 100 years.
Last year, scientist S. Fred Singer published the book, Unstoppable Global Warming (Every 1500 years), which tied current warming to an ongoing Bond Event. Singer tells Daily Tech that this new study provides further evidence for a 1500-year Climate cycle, the evidence for which was first discovered in ice core data.
The research is appearing in an upcoming edition of Geophysical Research Letters. Article Update 8/29: Email Response from Dr. Springer: "I've gotten a number of emails asking if I was quoted correctly - people seemed put off because I said the solar-drought connection is consistent with the idea of solar variability being responsible for GW. They don't seem to understand that saying it supports an IDEA is not the same as saying that it PROVES the idea... I certainly feel like I was quoted correctly. Some people just need to pay closer attention to the verbiage. Thanks for the opportunity to spread news of our research."
quote: would also ask in the year 500 what was man driving that caused the issues?
quote: I just want to know why the pro-Global warming fanatics do not understand the big yellow ball of fire in the sky has some effect on earth too
quote: The fact that something is "natural" or "man-made" (aren't humans "natural" anyway?) is irrelevant
quote: They're just also aware of the fact that what goes on here on Earth also has an effect, and that climate change is dangerous in the long term and expensive in the medium term.
quote: [...] And yes, for the record, I do believe we are having a substantial effect and should take action to reduce our influence.
quote: Why not start here? This article by the RealClimate bozos laughs at even the possibility that the sun affects climate:
quote: External forcings include natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions and solar variations , as well as human-induced changes in atmospheric composition. Solar radiation powers the climate system. There are three fundamental ways to change the radiation balance of the Earth: 1) by changing the incoming solar radiation (e.g., by changes in Earth's orbit or in the Sun itself); 2) by changing the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected (called 'albedo'; e.g., by changes in cloud cover, atmospheric particles or vegetation); and 3) by altering the longwave radiation from Earth back towards space (e.g., by changing greenhouse gas concentrations). Climate, in turn, responds directly to such changes, as well as indirectly, through a variety of feedback mechanisms.
quote: empirical results ... have strengthened the evidence for solar forcing of climate change by identifying detectable tropospheric changes associated with solar variability, including during the solar cycle. The most likely mechanism is considered to be some combination of direct forcing by changes in total solar irradiance, and indirect effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the stratosphere. Least certain, and under ongoing debate as discussed in the TAR, are indirect effects induced by galactic cosmic rays.
quote: I had no idea that the Sun's output effects our climate at all...
quote: Therefore, I think it would be a good idea to include oscillations in the primary energy source of the planet in the models we use before drawing any conclusions with regards to AGW. Which is why I stopped believing the IPCC. Different strokes.
quote: No, nothing like those. Everyone knows irradiance changes from the 11-year cycle can't explain warming.
quote: They certainly don't explain past ice ages, but we know those happened anyway, don't we?
quote: What GISS doesn't include are the really important variations cycles like the Devries Cycle or a Dalton/Maunder Minimum, along with the same sorts of feedbacks GISS is happy to believe in for CO2.
quote: As I've said before, anyone who thinks the current trend in global warming is entirely the fault of man... We may or may not be exacerbating it, but it occurs whether were here or not
quote: I think it's good that people believe in global warming - it's finally bringing some innovation to our energy industry.
quote: This is about as communist as it gets. Believing you know whats best for everyone else.
quote: Why do we have to wait until something is a total disaster before we do anything about it?
quote: ...my personal opinion is that GW is here to stay and that our species is to blame.
quote: Every national science academy of every major industrialized country on the planet confirms recent climate change is due to human activity.

quote: I clarified that quote when I spoke with Dr. Springer.
quote: The oscillations seen here are totally at odds with those one would expect to see from anthropogenic global warming.
quote: But if you've somehow interpreted that to mean solar variations can't influence climate, you are sadly mistaken.
quote: Springer himself explicitly stated this report gives ammunition to those who believe this current warming is due to solar effects.
quote: The IPCC says its only 20% solar. Other researchers say much, much more.

quote: Fallacies are used frequently by pundits in the media and politics. When one politician says to another, "You don't have the moral authority to say X", this could be an example of the argumentum ad hominem or personal attack fallacy; that is, attempting to disprove X, not by addressing validity of X but by attacking the person who asserted X. Arguably, the politician is not even attempting to make an argument against X, but is instead offering a moral rebuke against the interlocutor.

Your coffee cups, soda cans, Oil spills, lack of oil, recycle your plastics, reduce your trash, reduce our packaging waste.

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) I need help with wrapping my head around something. I was looking at the British Columbia bluebook which lists the salaries of all physicians. I randomly googled a family doctor in Kewlona, BC, and came up with Dr. Ronald George Cridland who seems to have earned $955,514.22 in 2011. I know this is before taxes and overhead, but my question is, how is this possible? Does he own a few clinics and other doctors somehow make it look like he's taking care of patients? There are others in more remote locations making in the 600,000's. how is this possible?
If you read the fine print it says that is not net income. That is the total reimbursement docs get. Then the doc has to pay overhead, equipment, rent for office, bills, office staff, etc. Its kinda like how apple has sales of 20 billion but only makes 1 billion in profit.
dude... even with overhead that is a ridiculous amount of money, what is overhead in BC, 150,000 MAXXXXXXX..... other fees say another 100,000 the guy even after taxes is pulling over half a million, dude that is obscene.
After speaking to some doctors, it seems you are right. The higher compensation is due to remote fm docs doing more procedures that need expensive equipment. Unfortunately, unlike a hospital where there is a constant stream of patients to justify the cost, this margin is a lot smaller in rural settings. So the overhead is a much higher percentage of total cost.
some FPs also bill for a psych consult if they just ask 'how are you feeling?' I'm not saying that's what this guy has done but that there are many ways to ring up a nice bill
Part of it can easily be explained. If you can see a large number of patients per day, you're halfway there to making a million a year. Then add in extra billings, procedures in rural settings, business techniques, etc. and profits can greatly rise. With overhead you're looking at 30-40% in general but this is the general number for general FM incomes (200-400k/year). If the guy is making about a million a year, he's paying no more than 200k to overhead and after taxes is indeed taking home ~500k/year. Family medicine tends to be fairly lucrative in Canada due to the mathematical possibility.
"Readers of this Schedule of Payments should understand that it provides only a record of gross payments. In some instances, the recorded figure is a payment for the services of a number of practitioners."
I didn't realize FM is that lucrative in Canada. However, what is the average FM salary in Vancouver/GTA? Would 200K be a fair figure to throw out? I know in rural areas guys are pulling in 500K...but what about large urban areas?
My family doc in Vancouver billed 200K last year. My ex-girlfriend's father would make about 250k in Toronto but he worked a fair bit. It probably is close to 200K from everything I have read and heard.
It is likely that the doctor bills for several other procedures within the realm of family practice and is covering the costs of expeinsive equipement, especially in the more remote regions.Familly Dr.'s in more remote regions generally work a lot more and have more responsibilities as there are so few doctors. There was a story of a doctor in northern Ontario that had a family practice, did house calls, worked at a seniors homes and filled in at an urgent care centre ect.. He worked over 16 hours a day and he has been doing it for 20 years but was retiring. It is also like that this Dr. is probably a workaholic. Generally if you are the average familly doctor with a regular schedule you will likely earn between 250 000 and 400 000 in billings before overhead and taxes..
yeap.... it's overpaid, for sure... I heard the living cost down there is extremely high though.... so it's relateive. Here in the other side of the country, NL, a family doctor is doing around 150.000 to 300.000 before taxes and stuff.... and the living cost is less cheaper than BC, of course... Still, a lot of money, I agree J
Found the 2011 British Columbia billings: http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/msp/legi...uebook2011.pdf search the names here to find out which specialties they go with: https://www.cpsbc.ca/node/264 Or you can use the second link to search family doctors in various parts of BC to see how much they billed in 2011.
Cridland runs a sleep clinic, and he has no competition, so he bills for all of the sleep studies. Office based family practice is a money loser, so those high billing doctors are probably making that a small part of their practice, if at all. The real way to make money in FP is by not practicing it.
Even so, many of those salaries are just unreal. I found a paediatrician who was making around $800.000. Are doctors in Canada better paid than in the US?
Not sure you know what you are talking about. I know of only office based FP's in Alberta who bill over 500k in their pratices.
Definitely not, particularly if you look at where the practice is based. If you put it anywhere in Ontario, tax on $800,000 is $355000 so you're left with $445000, now I haven't ruled in overhead etc, which would easily cut down maybe 25% or so, and you're looking at $333 750... this is if you are making $800K, which probably wont happen unless you work in a remote area far far away from a city. Coupled with the high costs of living (yes, costs of living in remote area tend to be higher than cities), you're averaging the same if you worked at a midsize city in the US (not to mention US has a far less cost of living).
Don't forget that they have no pension plan, no personal insurance plan, benefits, etc. That and the number of hours worked and the education cost, the compensation is not much greater than a teacher in terms of 20 year average rate per hour.
just one point of reference for these salaries.......these are in CANADIAN dollars......meaning that the currency is valid as a point of reference only in the home country.......an average house; an AVERAGE house, costs over 400k in toronto and over 500k in vancouver people........ canadian dollars; and canadian physician incomes need to be taken into context in canada.........
Um, the US and Canadian dollars are virtually equal. Unless you're writing from the 1990's or something.
that's because of a weak us economy; historically, it's been 1 us - 1.3 cad.....prices in canada reflect that......us minimum wage is ~7......canadian is ~10......so comparing usd to cad in 2 different countries with different costs of living is irrelevant.....

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the long-term use of highly (>98%) purified EPA, in addition to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), would be more effective than statin alone in preventing cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina Pectoris, Sudden Cardiac Death, Stroke, Peripheral Artery Disease |
Drug: Eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester(EPADEL Capsule 300 TM) |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Prevention |
Official Title: | Effect of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) on Major Cardiovascular Events in Hypercholesterolemic Patients: the Japan EPA Lipid Intervention Study (JELIS) |
- Major coronary events (sudden cardiac death, fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris including hospitalization for ischemic episodes,events of angioplasty/ stenting or coronary artery bypass grafting)
- All-cause mortality
- Stroke
- Peripheral artery disease; and
- Cancer
Estimated Enrollment: | 18000 |
Study Start Date: | November 1996 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | November 2004 |
Epidemiological studies from many countries including Finland, Italy, Japan, and The Netherlands have suggested that an increased intake of dietary fish or fish oil rich in the long-chain polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), is inversely related to the risk of atherothrombotic diseases, in particular coronary artery disease (CAD).
Results of many prospective observational cohort studies have found that diets rich in marine PUFAs may be protective against major cardiovascular events, including mortality from CAD, total cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, and nonfatal myocardial infarction. To date, only a few studies have examined the effects of purified n-3 PUFA preparations in human subjects for short observation periods. The principle aim of the current study is to test the hypothesis that the long-term use of highly purified EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid: 1800mg/day), in addition to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is effective in preventing cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia.

butter LONDON Blowing Raspberries Nail Lacquer
butter LONDON Blowing Raspberries Nail Lacquer ($14.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is a rich, dark raspberry red–a gorgeous mix of pink and red–with a cream finish. I used two coats for opaque color.
my thoughts on the formula: This cream finished polish has such a smooth, maneuverable formula–nicely pigmented (needed only two coats) and applies beautifully without bubbling or streaking. It wore for a full seven days without chipping. The formula was thin without being watery and made for really easy application.

Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
In connection with GAO's requirement to audit the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. government, GAO audits the Schedules of Federal Debt managed by the Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) annually to determine whether, in all material respects, (1) the schedules are reliable and (2) BPD maintained effective internal control over financial reporting relevant to the Schedule of Federal Debt. Further, GAO tests compliance with selected provisions of laws related to the Schedule of Federal Debt. Federal debt managed by BPD consists of Treasury securities held by the public and by certain federal government accounts, referred to as intragovernmental debt holdings. Debt held by the public primarily represents the amount the federal government has borrowed from the public to finance cumulative cash deficits. Intragovernmental debt holdings represent federal debt owed by Treasury to federal government accounts--primarily federal trust funds such as Social Security and Medicare--that typically have an obligation to invest their excess annual receipts (including interest earnings) over disbursements in federal securities.
In GAO's opinion, BPD's Schedules of Federal Debt for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were fairly presented in all material respects, and BPD maintained effective internal control over financial reporting relevant to the Schedule of Federal Debt as of September 30, 2011. GAO's tests of BPD's compliance in fiscal year 2011 with selected provisions of laws disclosed no instances of noncompliance. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, federal debt managed by BPD totaled about $14,781 billion and $13,551 billion, respectively. During the last 4 fiscal years, total federal debt has increased by $5,788 billion, or 64 percent, from $8,993 billion as of September 30, 2007, to $14,781 billion as of September 30, 2011. The rapid growth in federal debt during this period presented debt management challenges for Treasury. The increases to total federal debt over the past 4 fiscal years represent the largest dollar increases over a 4-year period in history. Notably, the statutory debt limit was raised on seven different occasions during the last 4 fiscal years, increasing by about 55 percent, from $9,815 billion to its current level of $15,194 billion. During fiscal year 2011, Treasury faced an additional challenge of managing federal debt close to the statutory debt limit. A debt issuance suspension period was declared by Treasury from May 16, 2011, through August 2, 2011. Treasury utilized a number of extraordinary actions within its legal authorities to avoid exceeding the debt limit. On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 was enacted by Congress and signed into law by the President, which resulted in increases to the statutory debt limit of $400 billion on August 2, 2011, and $500 billion on September 22, 2011. GAO is not making recommendations in this report, but will be reporting separately on matters identified during its audit, along with recommendations for strengthening internal controls relevant to the Schedule of Federal Debt. In commenting on a draft of this report, BPD's Commissioner concurred with our conclusions.

New Delhi: A woman from Bihar was on Thursday
awarded rigorous life imprisonment by a Delhi court for
killing her husband as she did not approve of his abusive
nature and alleged illicit relationships with other women.
Additional Sessions Judge S K Sarvaria termed the
offence of killing by a sharp-edged weapon as "brutal" but
said it did not fall under the rarest of rare case category
warranting death sentence.
"Although it is proved that the offence was brutal as
the victim husband was given blows on his neck...but then in
every such case, brutality is involved and it in itself does
not bring the case in the category of the rarest of rare
case," the court said.
Considering the poor financial background of convict
Indu Devi, a resident of Gopalgunj in Bihar, the court did not
impose any fine on her.
The convict alongwith her husband, a TV mechanic, and
their 3-year-old daughter was living in a rented premise at
Mehrauli area in south Delhi.
The convict, who had a love marriage with the victim,
was deserted by her parents and was peeved by the abusive
nature of her husband. They used to quarrel over the victim`s
alleged extra-martial affairs, the prosecution said.
The woman, who initially did not co-operate in the
investigation, later broke down during the probe and confessed
her guilt. The weapon of offence was recovered at her

Davies defends Tyson over melee
The Forest boss has also insisted the striker will not be fined over the incident which sparked a brawl.
Davies claims it was Derby's players who provoked the post-match melee involving both sets of players and coaching staff.
The Football Association is expected to charge both clubs this week with failing to control their players and issue Tyson with a separate misconduct charge after he ran past the 4,376 visiting Derby fans waving a corner flag bearing the Forest emblem following the Reds' 3-2 win at the City Ground.
But Davies has reviewed the incident on video and is adamant that Tyson was guilty of no more than over-exuberance.
"Nathan will absolutely not be fined, in my opinion he has done nothing wrong," Davies told The Guardian. "The flashpoint came from the Derby players and their coaching staff. If he had been left alone to celebrate, nothing would have happened.
"I would never condone Tyson if he was trying to inflame the situation but I simply feel he was celebrating a win over our bitter rivals. There were Forest fans in the upper tier of the stand where Derby's fans were sat and Tyson was looking at them."

"Meet the Robinsons" is a great children's animated movie. It's full of vibrant colors and wacky characters (including robots, singing frogs and a T-Rex), and every single scene is very busy (with lots of different things going on all at once). In addition, this movie has a really great message for children keep moving forward! learn from your mistakes and never be afraid of failure because when you learn from your failures it means you are one step closer to succeeding! That's such a great message for kids and unlike other animated movies that embed lots of political and social propaganda (I'm talking about you "Happy Feet") this movie didn't have any of that kind of stuff. It just has one good, solid message and lots of stuff for kids to enjoy. For adults, the movie is cute, but nothing worth paying full price for at the theaters (unless you're dragging your kids to see it). You're better off waiting for DVD if you don't have any kids to bring. All in all, I'd give this movie 3 STARS (out of 5). Re-watch value: LOW (for adults) and HIGH (for kids). Meet the Robinsons" is a wonderfully delightful movie, with a good story and message from Disney. Lewis is a brilliant inventor with a surprising number of clever inventions to his credit. His latest and most ambitious project is the Memory Scanner, a machine that will help him find his birth mother so they can become a family. But before he can find her, his invention is stolen by the dastardly Bowler Hat Guy and his diabolical hat and constant companion, Doris. Lewis has all but given up hope when a mysterious stranger named Wilbur Robinson whisks our bewildered hero away in a time machine and together they team up to track down Bowler Hat Guy in a showdown that ends with an unexpected and unbelievable twist of fate. I found this to be a really good movie, however, for adults it is very predictable, but for kids there is a lot going on and the colors are bright and the message it brings is awesome. I think the whole family will enjoy this movie and kids will want to see it again and again. The voices were well done and the CGI was traditional Disney (and it was very good to see Disney put out a good movie again). I thought even though there were some plot holes and predictability, the overall movie was well done. Overall Rating: 4 Stars (out of 5). Re-Watch Value: Moderate (for adults), High (for Kids) (I will most likely purchase on DVD for my collection). "Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." --Walt Disney

News Release April 04, 2002 |
BOSTON and NEW YORK – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a favorable Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to Islander East Pipeline Co. L.L.C. for its proposed interstate natural gas pipeline in Connecticut and Long Island, N.Y. Islander East is proposing to construct approximately 50 miles of interstate natural gas pipeline to help meet the northeast region's growing demand for the cleaner-burning fuel. Islander East is an equally owned, limited liability company formed between the subsidiaries of KeySpan Corp. and Duke Energy. In conjunction with this FERC filing, a companion project filed by Algonquin Gas Transmission Co., a unit of Duke Energy, received a positive DEIS for its plans to upgrade 13 miles of existing pipeline and construct a new compressor station in Cheshire, Conn. In the report, FERC staff concludes that "with the use of Islander East's proposed mitigation and adoption of our recommended mitigation measures, construction and operation of the proposed facilities would have limited adverse environmental impact." "Islander East is committed to constructing and operating the pipeline in a safe and environmentally responsible manner," said Robert B. Evans, president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy Gas Transmission. "We appreciate FERC staff's diligent efforts in developing this DEIS and in recognizing that we will adhere to strict regulatory standards and our own stringent monitoring and inspection programs. We will continue to work with FERC, regulatory agencies, landowners, public officials, environmental organizations and other interested parties to ensure the project minimizes impacts to the communities and the environment." Together the Islander East and Algonquin projects are expected to provide 260,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas, including supplies from major new supply basins located off the coast of eastern
"Islander East is continuing to move forward to meet the growing demand for new energy in In December, FERC issued a preliminary review of the Islander East and Algonquin projects determining that the proposals will fill an immediate market need, by serving expected growth in the Northeast market area. The proposed Islander East mainline pipeline will extend from A member of the S&P 500, KeySpan Corporation (NYSE: KSE) is the largest distributor of natural gas in the Northeast, with 2.5 million gas customers and more than 13,000 employees.

(NBC News) Could it be that men have a biological clock as well?
A new study links autism, ADHD and other mental health problems in kids with the age their fathers were when the babies were conceived.
Compared to men who father children in their 20s, men in their 40s are more likely to father babies who later have autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and suicidal behavior among other psychiatric problems.
Doctors at Indiana University analyzed data on everyone born in Sweden between 1973 and 2001, roughly 2.5 million people.
The researchers found kids born to fathers in their 40s were three and a half times more likely to develop autism than their peers with younger dads, twice as likely to have a psychiatric disorder and 13 times more likely to have ADHD.
Outside experts offer caution and perspective.
"Even if I tell you that your risk of autism is up three times greater than normal, that means there's a 97% chance you will not have a child with autism," says Dr. Max Wiznitzer.

Report: America trashes 40% of food supply
- Filed in:
- Waste reduction,
- Food
Causes and extent of food loss analyzed at every level of the supply chain in new report. Suggestions for reducing waste often involve packaging innovations.
Americans are throwing away 40% of food in the U.S., the equivalent of $165 billion in uneaten food each year, according to a new analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). In a time of drought and skyrocketing food prices, NRDC outlines opportunities to reduce wasted food and money on the farm, in the grocery store, and at home.
"As a country, we're essentially tossing every other piece of food that crosses our path—that's money and precious resources down the drain," says Dana Gunders, NRDC project scientist with the food and agriculture program. "With the price of food continuing to grow, and drought jeopardizing farmers nationwide, now is the time to embrace all the tremendous untapped opportunities to get more out of our food system. We can do better."
NRDC's issue brief, "Wasted: How America is Losing Up to 40 Percent of its Food from Farm to Fork to Landfill," analyzes the latest case studies and government data on the causes and extent of food losses at every level of the U.S. food supply chain. It also provides examples and recommendations for reducing this waste.
Key findings include:
• The average American family of four ends up throwing away an equivalent of up to $2,275 annually in food
• Food waste is the single largest component of solid waste in U.S. landfills
• Just a 15% reduction in losses in the U.S. food supply would save enough food to feed 25 million Americans annually
• There has been a 50% jump in U.S. food waste since the 1970s
Causes of losses
The causes of losses in our food system are complex, but there are notable problem areas. At the retail level, grocery stores and other sellers are losing as much as $15 billion annually in unsold fruits and vegetables alone, with about half of the nationwide supply going uneaten. In fact, fresh produce is lost more than any other food product—including seafood, meat, grains, and dairy—at nearly every stage in the supply chain. Some of this is avoidable. For instance, retailers can stop the practice of unnecessary abundance in their produce displays, which inherently leads to food spoilage.
But consumers are also a major contributor to the problem, with the majority of food losses occurring in restaurants and household kitchens. A significant reason for this is large portions, as well as uneaten leftovers. Today, portion sizes are two- to eight-times larger than the government's standard serving sizes.
Wasted food also translates into wasted natural resources, because of the energy, water, and farmland necessary to grow, transport, and store food. About half of all land in the U.S. goes to agriculture; some 25% of all the freshwater consumed in this country, along with 4% of the oil, goes into producing food that is never eaten. Moreover, uneaten food accounts for 23% of all methane emissions in the U.S.
Increasing the efficiency of our food system is a triple-bottom-line solution that requires collaborative efforts by businesses, governments, and consumers, the report notes. Specifically it advises:
• The U.S. government should conduct a comprehensive study of losses in our food system and set national goals for waste reduction. This may require steps such as clarifying date labels on food, encouraging food recovery, and improving public awareness about ways to waste less. State and local governments can also lead by setting similar targets.
• Businesses should seize opportunities to streamline their own operations, reduce food losses, and save money. The Stop and Shop grocery chain is already doing this successfully, saving an estimated $100 million annually after an analysis of freshness, loss, and customer satisfaction in their perishables department. Others should follow suit.
• Consumers can waste less food by shopping wisely, knowing when food goes bad, buying produce that is perfectly edible even if it's less cosmetically attractive, cooking only the amount of food they need, and eating their leftovers.
Overseas examples
Europe is leading the way in reducing food waste. In January 2012, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to reduce food waste 50% by 2020, and designated 2014 as the "European year against food waste." In the U.K., an extensive five-year public awareness campaign called "Love Food Hate Waste" has contributed to an 18% reduction in avoidable food waste. And 53 of the leading U.K. food retailers and brands have adopted waste reduction resolutions.
Among the ideas mentioned in the report for increasing efficiencies in in-store and out-of-store retail are the following:
• Tesco and Marks & Spencer, both U.K. retailers, are testing use of an ethylene-absorbing strip to prolong produce life. The retailers estimates it could save 1.6 million packs of tomatoes, 350,000 packs of avocados, and 40,000 packs of strawberries.
• Warburtons in the U.K. removed "display until" dates from its bread packaging to reduce consumer confusion.
• New labeling that encourages consumers of U.K. grocer Sainsbury's to freeze food up to its use-by date is estimated to save 800,000 metric tons of food annually.
• The Co-operative Group in the U.K. provides storage instructions for fruits and vegetables on its produce bags and displays "Love Food Hate Waste" ads in 12,000 stores.
• Instead of buy-one-get-one-free promotions, the Co-operative Group has run half-off promotions; Tesco has buy-one-get-one-later; and Sainsbury's is piloting a buy-one-give-one-free program.

2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S
ProsLooks gorgeous. Turns on a dime. Perfect car for kid, or single adult. ConsTrunk is very small. Back seats can fit kids but difficult to be getting in and out very often.
Stylish Car. — This car caught my eye and i fell in love. This car is perfect for the price. Looks luxurious. Drives perfect. No problems yet. Not a lot of space but thats what you get for getting a coupe so should be expecting that anyways. Primary Use: Commuting to work
Looking for a Used Altima Coupe in your area?
CarGurus has 2,454 nationwide Altima Coupe listings
starting at $4,973.
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S
ProsI've had two Altima Coupes and love them both! Consnone
Best Sporty Car For Young Adult! — A really great and reliable car! I've had both the 09 model and the 012 model and they both have been great for day to day commute. The red interior inside of the white is also stunning and unexpected. You get a lot of great standard features with it as well! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR
ProsLooks good ConsTiny
Car — It's a beautiful car, but made for only one adult or two small children. Should have listened to the salesman when he said get the four door. I guess I was having a mid life crisis!!!!! Oh well!! Better luck next time. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S
ProsA great coupe , great looking and plenty of power. ConsSo far nothing to complain about !!.
A Fun Ride !! — It has a sexy look and although the car was purchase for my wife even I really enjoy driving it !!. I dont see the need to get the 3.5 liter unless you want to spent a lot of money on tires. The trunk is not too large but for a couple travelling together you can always flip one of the rear seat down for more space. I dont see the coupe as a good car for a family of 4....the sedan would be a better choice !! |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR
Pros3.5 vq35 ConsLacks some luxury features im used to.
A Decent Fun "sporty" Car — While lots of people like to compare or say the Altima Coupe is a "cheap" Infiniti G coupe I disagree. While yes it is cheaper and they are very simular cars. I picked the A-C over the G for these reason: 1- The G series front seat are very bolstered. To bolstered for me in fact, The front seat bottoms where actually uncomfortable to me in the G and the Altimas are bolstered but not smashing my thighs together. 2- The FWD (front wheel drive) for most "average" driver who live in areas with inclement weather as myself. FWD is an edge over the G coupe. *the G is avil. with RWD or AWD but not AWD with the MANUAL trans. I was only looking for manual transmission.* While yes many people can argue snow tires etc. I wont get into that. I love the rear of the car and the side profiles, the "newer" 2010? front grill has something odd about it? The interior is ok, I'm coming from a luxury brand so some of the pieces are a bit "cheap" to me though its fit and finish is on par with competetors in this segment. This car has LOTS of blind spots as to be expected, but we all knew that with its great shape. Gas milage can be ruff if you get on it, Which this car wants you to. I average 21.5 mixed driving nice, floor it and expect to see large suv mileage. In conclusion I Leased this car due to its 3.5VQ & 6 speed manual RARE specs. While still having a tiny back seat for my little ones and not having to worry about the weather leaving me stranded. Good fun "sleeper" buy for someone wanting something "sporty" but not flashy!!! Primary Use: Family transportation |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S
ProsVery sporty, dependable handles very well and looks great ConsBack seating not spacious
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S
ProsIts unique look and its fuel efficient ConsCVT Transmission.
2012 2.5l Altima Coupe S — The 2.5L Nissan Altima Coupe has a unique sporty look. Its a fuel efficient vehicle that is very confortable. Having the tiptronic option allows you to have a feel of the performance of the vehicle, although the performance of this vehicle is not the best. The braking and handling is absolutely amazing. You most certainly will feel safe in this vehicle. The 2.5L Nissan Altima Coupe has 173Hp. If you're a person that likes high performance on a vehicle, I recommened you to not buy this car. If you're not into performance, this is a great vehicle to cruise in. It has really good speakers, giving you that good amount of high quality sound with the bass and treble level option, to rock your head back and forth. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR
ProsLove the look, handling and power with the CVT. Love the i-key, push button start and the fact that you don't have to manually unlock your doors while your hands are full. Every aspect of this car is a dream. ConsNot a family car..no room in back seat for adult passengers
Love My Altima Coupe! — After reviewing many, many cars and much research, I knew the Altima Coupe was exactly what I was looking for. The styling, handling, the 3.5 CVT and the fact that I needed to drive through the winter cold & snow, this car has the traction control. I also have the navigation, heated seats, sunroof..every option! Very fun to drive..Love my car! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2012 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SR
Nice Ride — Very nice new car, get alot of looks with the skirt lights, the red leather interior id say is a must works good with the general theme of the car. gives you just about everything you'd want from a 35,000$ car, i'd reccomend |

Make up your mind and climb, ascend or rappel down the most impressive mountains in Patagonia and become a great climber.
Considered as a high risk sport, it requires physical strength of arms and legs at the same time, combined with the technical skill of the climber.
We recommend that beginners do not start by climbing on natural walls, but in artificial ones and under the assistance of a professional guide. Due to safety measures it is preferable that you do not climb on your own.
The use of the appropriate costumes is mandatory to try this specialty, which basically consists of a waist harness, carabiners and specific shoes with highly adhesive processed rubber soles, as well as the magnesium resin that prevents your hands from sweating and thus loosing grip.
The land ahead should be examined before leaving, and in the event that the meteorological conditions were adverse, it would be best to cancel the excursion.

A typical ENS publish and subscribe cycle for Calendar Server resembles the following:
The event subscriber, csnotifyd, expresses interest in an event (subscribes).
The event publisher, csadmind, detects events and sends notification (publishes).
ENS publishes the event to the subscriber.
The event subscriber cancels interest in the event (unsubscribes). This step happens implicitly when the connection to ENS is shut down.
Figure 1–2 illustrates this cycle and Table 1–1 provides the narrative for the figure.
Action |
ENS Response |
1. The csnotifyd daemon sends a subscription request to ENS. |
ENS stores the subscription in the subscriptions database. |
2. The csadmind daemon sends a notification request to ENS. |
ENS queries the subscriptions database for subscriptions matching the notification. |
3. The csnotifyd daemon receives a notification from ENS. |
When ENS receives a notification from a publisher, it looks up its internal subscription table to find subscriptions matching the event reference of the notification. Then for each subscription, it relays a copy of the notification to the subscriber who owns this subscription. |
4. Currently, csnotifyd does not bother sending cancellation requests to ENS. |
Because the subscriptions store is in memory only (not in a database), all subscriptions are implicitly unsubscribed when the connection to ENS is shutdown. |

How close does your puppy get? Very very close. If I'm sitting on the couch, 75% of the time, he isn't happy unless his butt is in my face. He always follows me from room to room, regardless of time. Peeing is IMPOSSIBLE without his furry butt laying on my feet or taking advantage of the situation and stealing kisses since i cannot just get up and leave. When he sleeps in bed with us, he is always touching me. Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App

Both my 6 month of Golden Girls are like this, they follow everyone in my house around and always like to be where everyone is. If I am in the living room and they are both sleeping and I get up to go to bed, within 5 minutes they realize I have left and both of them are in our bedroom and usually one in bed. Although with as big as they are now that isn't always easy or possible. Plus they get over heated, but I love them always wanting to be with us also. |

Finlay is by my side ALL the time. It started the day we brought him home. I mean, he is next to me every step I take. Even if I get up from the dining room table, and take five steps into the kitchen, he's right there. When I shower in the morning, he lays right in front of the shower door to were sometimes I am stuck in there, because he won't move when I want out. If I sit on the chair in the LR, he jumps on the couch, walks across the end-table, and climbs into my lap. I literaly do not have a minute without him. He has followed me close enough to where he stepped onto the back of my flip-flops, and made me trip. DH just shakes his head. Finlay is seriously a "velcro dog". I love him lots, but it sometimes would be nice if DH, or DS would get some of that attention, giving me just a little bit of a breather |

My 7 month old likes to sleep on my pillow. He rests his chin on top of my head. He weighed 14 pounds when he started doing it, now he is 65 pounds! Every once in awhile he very gently presses his face next to mine, just for a minute. It is one of the sweetest things I have ever experienced. |

The civil rights laws and social programs initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the mid-1960s transformed U.S. society. Although they were highly controversial at the time, laws establishing Medicare and Medicaid, public broadcasting, help to those in poverty, consumer and environmental protection, the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities and many other programs remain in place today. Though President John F. Kennedy introduced civil rights legislation shortly before his death, it was his successor, Johnson, who was able to get the legislation passed and move on to other aspects of what became known as the Great Society.
When "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, Robert E. Lee's father, eulogized George Washington, he memorialized the late president's effort to forge a unified nation that would bring happiness forever to the people of America. On the eve of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee, married to the daughter of Washington's adopted son, appeared poised to preserve the Union that Washington had fought so hard to establish.
"I could've been a judge, but I never 'ad the Latin. . . . And so I become a miner instead." So starts the bitterly funny "Miner's Sketch" from the 1960s revue Beyond the Fringe, which gave Americans a sense of the long, brutal class war in Britain between coal miners and the ruling class. Neither emerged intact.
Thomas Cromwell and the Tudor Court have had something of a resurgence in popular culture. While Showtime's melodramatic "The Tudors" focused on Henry VIII and his six wives, Hilary Mantel's Booker-Prize winning novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies dramatized the political rise of Henry's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell. Tracy Borman's vivid new biography, Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant, is a timely addition to histories of the era.
What we usually remember about George III is that he was mad, but there was far more to this complex royal figure. As we learn in debut author Janice Hadlow's fascinating account, A Royal Experiment: The Private Life of King George III, he had much to keep him busy during his long reign, including a very large family. This biography was originally published in the U.K. as The Strangest Family. It's an apt title. Hadlow takes as her canvas not simply the private life of one monarch, but the entire House of Hanover, a dysfunctional dynasty if there ever was one.
On two consecutive days—Monday, June 10, and Tuesday, June 11, 1963—President John F. Kennedy gave two speeches that led to what many regard as the most significant achievements of his presidency, one in diplomacy and the other in civil rights. Both speeches were unprecedented and politically risky.
During the years after World War II, a group of ambitious, idealistic, affluent and well-connected young people settled in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. Until at least 1975, their strong influence was felt, for good or ill, in virtually every aspect of government, especially foreign policy decisions, and in shaping public opinion on such issues as the founding of NATO, the military and covert actions of the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis and the war in Vietnam.
A harried reader could get the gist of The Secret History of Wonder Woman by opening it just past dead center and reading through the 16-page comic-book version of the story.
In mid-19th-century America, newspapers were the primary sources of information and opinion. Most newspaper publishers and editors were closely aligned with politicians and, with few exceptions, opinions were emphasized more than news and loyalty to political parties more than the public interest. It was a time of significant change for the newspaper industry with technological innovations such as steam-driven printing presses and, most importantly, the telegraph, making delivery of the news much faster.
While we all know George Washington as our first president and leader of American forces in the Revolutionary War, in The Return of George Washington: 1783-1789, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward J. Larson illuminates another key role he played: leading the Constitutional Convention.

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching document that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.
